Mohanlal Tweets About ‘Operation Ganga’ Featuring Vishnu Mohan and Gokulam Movies
Malayalam superstar Mohanlal has once again generated a lot of buzz on social media with a cryptic post that simply stated "Operation Ganga". The actor’s latest tweet has attracted much attention because of the prominent names associated with it (director Vishnu Mohan, Gokulam Gopalan, Baiju Gopalan, VC Praveen and Krishnamoorthy).
Mohanlal also posted the official Gokulam Movies account with names like Shashwat, Arjun Rampal, R. Parthiepan, Adil Hussain and Bhagyashri Bose. The short post has left fans wondering if “Operation Ganga” refers to a new film, a special announcement or another big cinematic collaboration.
The reference naturally raised speculation since Operation Ganga is also the name of India’s massive evacuation operation in the Russia-Ukraine war in 2022. But Mohanlal’s tweet does not reveal details of the project and the connection of the title to the people he has tagged. The exact nature of the project is yet to be announced in detail.
The timing of the post is so fitting as Mohanlal is also coming off a record-breaking run at the box office. 2025 was one of his biggest years with two big movies, L2: Empuraan and Thudarum, both big commercial successes. Thudarum did finally beat L2: Empuraan at the domestic box office; both movies had huge box office sales in the local market and both movies made the global box office milestones as well.
L2: Empuraan, directed by Prithviraj Sukumaran and starring Mohanlal as Stephen Nedumpally/Khureshi Ab’raam, is one of the most ambitious Malayalam movies of recent years. It was the sequel to the much celebrated Lucifer and it expanded the action-drama universe into a much bigger action-drama universe. It was one of the biggest Malayalam blockbusters in the last decade in movies with over ₹265 crore.
Mohanlal followed with Thudarum, which was also directed by Tharun Moorthy. There was quite a different feel in the setting, more family-oriented and crime and suspense. With less emphasis on the big-scale action, Thudarum was a box office hit and is estimated to have received more than ₹200 crore worldwide.
Mohanlal’s back-to-back success showed that he could attract audiences from other genres. Empuraan appealed to audiences with the big-picture action and Thudarum appealed to audiences with performances and emotional storytelling.
That success has also raised expectations for his upcoming projects. Mohanlal has a full line-up of collaborations and several projects to work with. Jailer 2, his collaboration with director Nelson Dilipkumar and a big upcoming film by the veteran filmmaker Priyadarshan are three of them. Recently, news about his upcoming work in Athimanoharam led by Tharun Moorthy has also attracted attention.
Ram is also a big title for the superstar with Drishyam director Jeethu Joseph. The project will be one of the films watched closely by fans. His bigger future plans are Vayanadan Thamban and Onnam Sir, as listed in the entertainment listings.
The “Operation Ganga” tweet has now come at the best time of Mohanlal’s career. He is still a commercial entertainer working with established and upcoming filmmakers after two big hits in 2025.
What is most interesting about the latest post is the combination of names associated with it. Vishnu Mohan, who has also directed Meppadiyan and Kadha Innuvare, and the presence of Gokulam Gopalan and Gokulam Movies indicates a major production connection. Arjun Rampal, Adil Hussain and Parthiepan are also mentioned and fan speculation is high.
Mohanlal has kept the message brief for now. There is no synopsis, release date or character details in the tweet. That mystery has only added to the interest even more now, and fans are waiting for us to know what the superstar has in store.
One thing is certain: Mohanlal’s recent blockbuster success combined with a strong imminent line-up and the mysterious “Operation Ganga” post has reignited the conversation about Malayalam cinema. If the project is a big movie based on a real-world event, expectations will be extremely high.
